Story
We rescued Poke and his brother Ahi off the streets. They would roam between Radford and Halsey Terrace military housing in Honolulu. We have essentially fostered them for months but we moving off island and need to either have someone adopt them or foster them. Poke is up-to-date on shots but Ahi is waiting on a booster. Ahi has anxiety and is scared of humans. We are not sure if he was abused prior to living on the streets.

Story
It’s with a heavy heart that we’re looking for a new, loving home for our dog, Moka. Due to an upcoming move to Italy and the challenges of an unaccompanied tour, we’ve made the tough decision to rehome him. Moka is a nearly 3-year-old, affectionate, energetic dog who’s great with young kids and fully house-trained. He loves cuddles, walks, and playtime. While professionally trained, he’s still a bit mischievous and gets excited around other dogs—never aggressive, just eager. We’d love to find a family staying long-term on the island, ideally with space for him to run. An adoption fee will apply to ensure Moka goes to a committed and caring home.

Story
This is Nala. She is an amazing 5yr old pit terrier mix. She is a sweetheart who loves to cuddle in bed with you if you let her. She loves to run around and give kisses. It breaks my heart to have to find a forever home for her because she has been the best puppy for me in my early to mid 20s. The only reason we are trying to find her a more suitable home is because I have a 7 month old baby and we are moving out of the country. She has never been aggressive towards humans or kids and in fact loves to play with my youngest siblings who are 6 & 7. I have only seen her with 5yr olds and older but she played very well with them no matter how much they pulled on her. She is house trained and loves walks. She loves peanut butter and is treat driven. Shes very healthy with no medical issues. She’s very active. Please let me know if you are interested in my snuggle bugs.

Story
Rocket is an incredible, fun loving dog. She unfortunately doesn't do well with other dogs. And she needs room to run around and dig. We unfortunately have a very small yard and limited time to spend with her, and limited space to take her. I can tell it's affecting her mood, she's not as happy as she used to be. I just want a good home for her. And I don't think that our home is the best place for her. It hurts me to have to rehome her, but I want what's best for her. She's great with kids, extremely patient. She has no behavioral issues, other than digging holes in the backyard, and chasing birds.
